For Patients | Personal Belongings

Personal Belongings

We urge all patients to send personal belongings and all valuables (such as pocketbooks, watches, jewelry and cash,) home with a family member or friend. If you are unable to send these belongings home, the hospital will secure them in its vault and issue you a receipt for the items; you may sign for the release of your belongings when you are discharged.

Lost & Found

Lost & Found is located in JB-162 (Jefferson Building, Rm. 162). If you find that you have left something behind following discharge, or discover something missing after an in-hospital transfer, please contact Patient Relations/Lost & Found at (860) 972-5678 as soon as you discover the loss.

If a valuable (wallet, purse, jewelry, keys, etc.) has been lost, please contact the Cashier’s Department at 972-2909 or extension 22909 (from any hospital phone). If the valuable does not have any identification, you may contact the Security Department at 972-2147 or extension 22147 (from any hospital phone).

If your belongings or something of value has been stolen please contact Hartford Hospital’s Security Department at 972-2147 or extension 22147 (from any hospital phone).

If your belongings are brought to the Patient Relations/Lost & Found Department we will send you a letter asking that you contact us. We can either mail your items to you or secure them until you are able to pick them up. Unidentified patient belongings will be stored with Patient Relations/Lost & Found for a period of 15 days and then either destroyed or donated.
